    Review Summary for 131 Central Park North
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 131 Central Park North highlight its excellent location by Central Park and convenient transit access. The classic pre-war charm and park views are appreciated, with some residents noting spacious layouts. However, significant issues are reported around building maintenance, including persistent heating failures, pest infestations (bed bugs and roaches), outdated apartment conditions, and frequent elevator problems. Cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, with some describing the environment as unpleasant. Management responsiveness is sharply divided, with several tenants frustrated by slow repairs and poor communication. Noise levels and neighbors receive mixed feedback. Overall, the building offers affordability and location benefits but requires substantial management and infrastructure improvements.

    I despise this building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great views, elevator (when it works), layout/living room space
    Cons:
    Everything else. EXTREMELY unresponsive landlord, elevator always broken, heat management was awful, plumbing and water pressure and temperature control was terrible, bedroom window never shut, etc.

    Let me paint a picture for you of what it is like living here with one example: A woman broke in and went into the basement, broke some glass and cut herself leaving blood all over the elevator buttons. The dried blood was left all over the buttons for WEEKS.
    Advice to owner:
    I have zero advice. Get out of the landlord business, you suck at it.
